OTHER CAMP INFO: Skyhawks Sports Camps are SAFETY FOCUSED!

At Skyhawks we go the extra mile to focus on safety, and we have a long-standing proven safety track record and processes to prove it. For example, all Skyhawks Sports camps start and end with our unique safety process called �Gate System and Parking Lot Duty.� This process is where coaches come and greet both parents and campers in the parking lot when parents pull up to drop off their children.

Our staff guide the kids onto the field/court and out of harm�s way by funneling them into our gate system. Eye contact is maintained from each one of our staff members until the kids make it onto the field/court where they are grouped by age. This efficient process ensures safety. Additionally, it develops a level of trust between parent, coach, and child that ultimately leads to a fun and skill-focused camp for youth.

CAMP SESSION DATES & FEES:
Skyhawks Sports Camps are offered throughout the summer, and specific dates and times vary from location to location.

Fees vary depending on age, duration of camp, and location.

CAMP FACILITIES: We have a rustic barn where learning events are held on rainy or cold days with outdoor picnic benches near the pond on warm days. With acres of trees to walk through, a beautiful forest and pasture land, Ballyntyne Learning farm is truly a place of retreat for both families and our day-campers.

CAMP PROGRAM INFO: Originally, the farm served as a Christmas tree farm with the first trees planted by my parents, Steve and Linda Kreitzberg in the 1980s. Since then, the Kreitzberg family has been operating the farm every Christmas season and finding joy serving as a place that offers families a place to have fun and usher in this important holiday of giving.

In 2016, the Kreitzberg family began brainstorming about how to use the farm as a place of retreat for children and young adults. After long dinner discussions, the core idea for Ballyntyne Learning Farm was born: to offer a place of learning for children and youth who are traditionally faced with additional hardships in life, whether that be physical, learning, developmental, familial or behavioral differences. We dreamed of a place where all are welcome to learn, play and find acceptance. With these dreams, Ballyntyne Learning Farm was born.
